Trump FBI pick Patel confirmed amid Justice Department tumult

Insurrections loyal to President Donald Trump climb the west wall of the the US Capitol, Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington. For many rioters who stormed the US Capitol, self-incriminating messages, photos and videos that they broadcast on social media before, during and after the Jan. 6 insurrection are influencing even the sentences in their criminal cases. Among the biggest takeaways from the Justice Department’s prosecution of the Jan. 6 insurrection is how large a role social media has played, with much of the most damning evidence coming from rioters own words and videos.
